How is the toilet paper supply at the WH? Are you being mindful to conserve? … The folks at Kimberely-Clark are making it as fast as they can, yet the grocery shelves remain bare. I was happy to get one roll at the hardware store yesterday…

…Maybe Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez can help you understand the folly of making light of CV. He made the mistake of letting 120,000 women convene to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8 and now 2 weeks later his death toll has surpassed China’s.

Thanks for meeting with the grocery execs today. Will someone from Grocery Outlet be there? Yesterday their paper products shelf was completely bare at 9:30 AM…. I was reminded of the photos of stores in the USSR from the ‘70s with empty shelves & desperate shoppers. It was creepy….
